Giménez, the leader who multiplies the power of Atlético
Giménez’s return to the starting lineup was key in the match against Bayer Leverkusen. Despite being out for a month, the Uruguayan is the third field player with the most minutes played this season. Along with Koke, he is the only player in the squad to have won two league titles with Atlético.
Giménez is a leader in the locker room and his return is great news for Simeone, who will not be able to count on Lenglet against Villarreal. Everything points to Giménez and Le Normand forming together as a pair in a difficult match against the yellow submarine.
